The original column names are „Jahr Monat Tag der Reception“, „Name und Alter sowie Character des recipierten Bürgers“ and „Geburtsort“. All other listed columns have been extracted from the given data. The entries are sorted by the initial letters of the last names and within each letter section in an ascending chronological order. The section for the letter I and J are put together within a common section. The letters X and Y don’t contain any entries.
